Amino acids: the building blocks of dairy nutrition

Today, I hosted Dr. Andre Pereira in a riveting discussion on the critical role of essential amino acids in the diets of dairy cows. We talked about extensive research on methionine, viewing it not just as an additive but as a fundamental nutrient, and its impact on cows from pre-fresh to fresh stages. Dr. Pereira also explored the precision required in balancing amino acids like lysine and the emerging significance of branched-chain amino acids in dairy nutrition. Discover the strategies behind successful diet formulations that leverage the energy-methionine relationship, pioneered by Cornell's research.
